The build failed likely due to AndroidX incompatibilities in a plugin. (audioplayers ??)

Bug report

Getting a very strange bug, seems unrelated to the project but occurs only when I include this dependency in my pubspec.yaml

google_mobile_ads: ^0.11.0+3

I was originally on flutter’s stable channel when this occurred. I also tried dev, beta, was having issues with a curl: (56) LibreSSL SSL_read: SSL_ERROR_SYSCALL, errno 54 error and also looked like I was getting the same errors, so kinda gave up trying different channels and switched back to stable (after many failed attempts).

I had a similar error to this and I fixed it by

1. upgrading android studio
2. In build.gradle change to classpath ‘com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.1.0’
3. In gradle-wrapper.properties change to distributionUrl=https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-6.5-all.zip

you’re a legend. I use VS code so I skipped step 1, but steps 2 and 3 worked for me. i can close the ticket if it’s working for everyone.
